I hope to see you there!

Best,

Consider this an invitation.

The Flower Mandalas blog has moved to Beliefnet.com, the leading spirituality portal, where it has taken on a new (and improved) form. My Flower Mandala work will still appear there, but now in the context of an ongoing exploration of art, healing, and transformation. New address: http://blog.beliefnet.com/flowermandalas

The blog serves as a platform for a much broader discussion of the transforming power of art, with "art" defined in the broadest possible way (visual, literary, performing, popular, classical, modern, ancient, professional, tentative, eternal, spontaneous, etc.).

I'm still looking for your input! I would very much like to hear from you not only for the Flower Mandala Project but also to invite you to share your art, thoughts, and experiences as part of this broader discussion.

I am a psychotherapist, photographer, digital artist, and writer living near Boston, Massachusetts. As a therapist, I work primarily with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, artists, and people with addictive behaviors. I see adults, adolescents, and children. I accept a variety of insurances and have a sliding scale for self-pay clients.

Like Carl Jung, one of the fathers of modern psychology, I believe art can be a pathway to the essential Self and foster personal and global transformation and I encourage a creative approach to treatment, and to life itself.

My award-winning Flower Mandalas were inspired by the paintings of Georgia O’Keeffe and the flower photographs of Harold Feinstein, with whom I briefly studied.

I am the author of Paths to Wholeness: Fifty-Two Flower Mandalas, two coloring books for adults, a book about American folk music, and three books about computer software.
